What century did the ship come from?


Great film, but there is absolutely no way the ship came from the year 2043. We are never told what century it came from, but it most certainly wasn't from the 21st. If you watch the scene where Beth & Norman discover the flight data summaries, the entries begin with dates like 08/04/02, so it would have to be from AT LEAST 2143, yet whenever someone in the film talks about where it may have come from they always assume 2043. I would have assumed a team of mathematicians and physicists would have given it more thought than that.

That came into my mind as well.

Actually, only Beth (biologist) and Norman (psychologist) saw the flight data summaries. The others never saw the flight data summaries.
